What do you do when you're bored?

[blogger]

For me:
Eating, Chatting, Spend time with friends, listening to music and Go for shopping. That’s it.

You're on a Book and Reading Discussion Forum .... any hint there?

When I'm bored I browse the topics in the Online Book Club. Some, but not all, are fodder for a column I
write called "The Reason Female Riders Is More Better Than Mail Riders is Because They Stay In Skoo Longer."
I honor a poster who i feel has gone the extra mile to express the spirit of the column, by asking them
a question that I feel goes the extra mile in expressing the spirit of that column. This weeks poster emeritus is
Got That Swing whose topic The Family Corleone, asked for recommendations in The Godfather genre. The post
apparently exhausted the poster's physical reserves to such a degree that she is still in the coma she lapsed into
12 days ago. You can read my question honoring her malady at TFC.

Actually my previous post bears little resemblance to any of my responses to boredom. To be honest,
it is a passage from a novel I'm writing about a dintal student who becomes so enraptured with the Kipling
poem about the first successful root canal in colonial India--GungaDinsDintalAdventures--that he is transported
back to that time. Unfortunately, that's as far as I've gotten. Normally, the passage shows up on "Night Mare."
What I usually do when I'm bored is read a limerick from my favorite limerick book "My Best Limericks by Mike
The Bartender." My favorite is the one about people who live in glass houses called "One man's poison is
another man's poisson." Most of the limericks are real lemons, but they remind me that no matter how big a bore
I am, there's always someone whose better at it. Anybody want to hear me read "If" like a cow who has a
cleft palate? John Wayne singing "Purple Haze" William Shattner as Dennis Hopper on Acid?

When Im bored I go to the Globo and buy useless junk, sometimes go to the beach and look for drug money that has been washed up, of course go on this forum, and if Im really bored and want to scare hell out of my neighbors, I plunk on my banjo and make funny noises with my mouth. That at least makes all the neighborhood dogs howl.

I have to say I never get bored....... not when there are books around.

I tend to languish in the moment when I am bored. It makes life seem longer.

Reminds me of a joke:

This guy goes to the doctor and learns that he has only three months to live. After getting the news he sits silently for a moment and then tells the doctor, "The first thing I'm going to do when I get home is call my mother-in-law and ask her to come and live with me and my wife." The doctor responds, "You love your mother-in-law deeply I take it." "No, in fact I hate her guts." says the patient. "Then why on earth would you want her to come and live with you?", queries the doctor. "Because that old hag can make three months seem like thirty years." responds the patient.

@DATo
Can't imagine you ever being bored. The poor mothers-in-law get a rough time don't they?

@primrose777
Agree totally, how could anyone surrounded by books be bored?

[robind13]

read or knit

[suzy1124]

Read, watch a movie, cook something good to eat from scratch, work on a painting or crafts project, and of course come on here..

When I am bored, I get really depressed and mopey, and then I feel like doing nothing. It's an endless cycle that can only end if I just go to sleep and start all over again when I wake up.
